Digital Design

The textbook Digital Design blends academic precision and practical experience in an authoritative introduction to basic principles involving digital design and both board-level and VLSI systems. The book covers the fundamental building blocks of digital design across several levels of abstraction from CMOS gates to hardware design languages. Important functions such as gates, decoders, multiplexers, flip-flops, registers, and counters are discussed at each level. New features in this book include de-emphasis of manual turnthe-crank procedures and MSI design, and earlier coverage of PLHs, FPGAs, and hardware design languages to get maximum leverage from modern components and software tools, HDL coverage now includes VHDL as well as ABEL. Covering fundamentals and best practices, this book provides you with critical knowledge of how each digital component ties together to form a system and develops the skills you need to design and simulate these digital components using modern CAD software.
